Abstract
Abstract This paper is devoted to a sufficient second-order condition for a weak local minimum in a simple optimal control problem with one control constraint G(u) ≤ 0, given by a C 2-function. A similar second-order condition was obtained earlier by the author for a strong minimum in a much more general problem. In the present paper, we would like to take a narrower perspective than before and thus provide shorter and simpler proofs. In addition, the paper uses the first and second order tangents to the set U, defined by the inequality G(u) ≤ 0. The main difficulty of the proof, clearly shown in the paper, refers to the set, where the gradient H u of the Hamiltonian is small, but the condition of quadratic growth of the Hamiltonian is satisfied. The paper can be valuable for self-explanation and provides a basis for extensions.
